What Is an Updated Tradeline? the Searched Term Sweeping the Nation

What is an updated tradeline? You’re asking for two reasons: First, you keep getting notices about them from your credit monitoring service. Second, you keep searching Google and all you’re coming up with is credit enhancement websites (like our website) where tradeline means something else. We’ll address both updated tradelines and tradelines for credit improvement.

WHAT IS AN UPDATED TRADELINE ON A CREDIT REPORT?

Let’s first define what a tradeline is: A tradeline is an account appearing on your credit report. Or, as we defined it earlier.

Well, by extension, an updated tradeline is an account in your credit report which has been updated.

Why are you getting notices of updated tradelines? It’s because you have a credit monitoring service that is informing you that an account on your credit report has been updated.

Yes, it’s that simple; no mystery. You can receive these notices for many reasons, including updated payments, new accounts, increased or decreased balances, etc.

THAT’S IT? WELL, WHAT’S ALL THIS BETTER-CREDIT STUFF?

The term tradeline is mortgage industry jargon, but it has also become a mainstream term to describe credit enhancement techniques. It’s called the “Uber” of credit.

Because of certain laws and regulation (such as the Equal Opportunity Credit Act and the Federal Reserve Board Regulation B.), it is possible to be added as an authorized user to a pre-existing line of credit (i.e., a credit card, a/k/a, a tradeline), which if it is in good standing has a positive impact on your credit report and, therefore, your credit score. Here’s an example:

As you can see, that account was opened in 1996 (over 20 years of perfect payment history) and has a $23,700.00 limit and a $722.00 balance (positively impacting debt to credit ratios). If, for example, you were added to this account as an authorized user, your credit score would be positively affected. This is actually possible, right now. You can pay to be added as an authorized user. In other words, you can pay to have this account added to your credit report.
